From reviews of Sound the Sirens:
“Featuring tightly-cropped frames of often disorientating scenes, ‘Sound the Sirens’is a compelling insight into the reality of climate change. Eschewing straightnarratives that retain our sense of control or even distance, it lays out our messyimpending future with a sense of the chaos it will evoke.” – Diane Smyth
“[Anselm] takes us into the teeth of the destruction, forcing us to witness what isactually happening to homes, communities, and real people when hurricanes,floods, and wildfires wreak their increasingly intense havoc. ..it’s clear that we’reintentionally taking a step backward from necessary solutions and that newstrategies (and visual languages) will now once again be needed to redirect climateengagement in urgently productive ways. So Anselm’s book arrives at just the rightmoment – unfortunately we are in need of a bracingly realistic slap in the face, andthis photobook delivers it.”
